El Norte - Plano, TX

El Norte Mexican diner near Custer and Parker is a family favorite.  The service is usually quick and the food good.  All of the normal Mexican selections are available as are a good assortment of flavorful adult beverages.  Daily specials are offered as well.

Vegan options consist of veggie fajitas and table side guacamole, both of which are excellent.  Pictured above are a few vegan sides - guacamole, sauteed veggies, and black beans (no cheese on top).  Filling enough for lunch along with the excellent salsa and usually good chips.  There are a few other vegan sides - black beans and corn relish for example.   

Vegetarian options are more voluminous including spinach and/or cheese enchiladas, chipotle sweet potatoes, stuffed jalapenos, white queso, and an assortment of salads.

Again, the service is usually fast and friendly and this restaurant definitely has the feel of a neighborhood diner.  Prices are very reasonable - lunch for two with tea to drink was under $20.  Although I'd rather have more vegan options, there are enough for me to have a meal when the family wants to go here.
